MELBOURNE CHICKEN SAVE

our mission

Welcome to the Melbourne Chicken Save website. We are a not for profit organisation that is run solely from donations. We aim to raise awareness of the misery and cruelty chickens are subjected to in the food industries through regular demonstrations and vigils around Melbourne, encouraging the public to transition to a plant based diet.

Melbourne Chicken Save is part of the Save Movement Worldwide Network who advocate for justice of animals and seeks to educate the public about veganism, a way of life that seeks to avoid animal use, exploitation, and harm as much as is practicable and possible. We oppose animal exploitation in all forms, and reject the notion that animal welfare practices, laws or regulations can provide any meaningful protection for victims of exploitation.

We maintain that educating the public about how and why to be vegan should be front and center of all animal advocacy campaigns, because only vegan advocacy can address the root cause of all animal abuse: human speciesism and its associated exploitative practices.

"GREATNESS OF A NATION CAN BE JUDGED BY THE WAY ITS ANIMALS ARE TREATED " MAHATMA GHANDI.

Our message is that Veganism is a matter of fundamental justice, not a “lifestyle”, or personal choice. It is simply something we owe anyone who is sentient.

If you wish to become active in helping the plight of animals you can connect with us on Facebook and keep up to date with news and upcoming events.

When one considers that each chicken is an individual with his or her own personality and requirements, the number slaughtered in a year for human consumption appears staggering. Here are the statistics within Australia and globally...

what you can do

be kind

Go Cruelty Free

Being vegan is easy. The question to ask ourselves though should not be ‘Is it easy?’, but ‘Is it right?’. Being vegan happens to be far easier than many of our other moral duties and commitments, but the fact that some of us may find it inconvenient to replace the products of violence with vegan alternatives doesn’t absolve us of our obligation to do so. Living without harming others for a taste is not a personal choice. It’s simply the right thing to do. Learn More.
